Welp, we haven’t fired up the ole Coaching Carousel since 2019 (which had some familiar faces) and we certainly didn't expect to have to dust this off in mid-November...but here we are. As you may or may not have heard, Jimbo Fisher was officially fired by Texas A&M on Sunday. Which means it’s officially time to HOP ON and BUCKLE UP, Ags — it’s gonna be a wild ride.

Not fired as of right now


Some expect it to happen after the season but another rumor is that big money boosters that are willing to pay Pittman's buyout are trying to influence the AD on who to hire which the AD isn't going for so it may be a stalemate.


What a concept.
An AD that can keep meddling boosters in check.

Mendenhall next up in the spot where coaching careers go to die (ABQ).

The world of college football coaching is fueled by big money, with elite head coaches pulling in salaries that would make CEOs blush. Top names like Nick Saban and Brian Kelly command over $9 million annually, reflecting the immense pressure and prestige associated with driving their teams to national championships. These eye-watering figures also raise questions about fairness, considering student-athletes receive little to no compensation while generating billions for universities and coaches.

Despite the controversy, the financial arms race shows no signs of slowing down, with schools willing to break the bank for a coach who can deliver glory and lucrative media contracts. Ultimately, the exorbitant salaries highlight the passionate, high-stakes nature of college football, where victory brings not just pride, but a hefty paycheck as well.

This thing is just pure art at this point.

Waiting to see the chaos from Harbaugh going to the NFL, Brian Kelly to Michigan, Kirby Smart to the NFL, plus the Buffalo and South Alabama replacements. This is fun.
